Can somebody help to flesh this out? I got bogged down in trying to explain the complexity of the plots of both the book and the movie. -- Zoe
I would like to help with this a little later, but i'm just writing a small thesis on the pastoral/post-pastoral elements of it, so i have to complete that first! I think the plot summary is generally very good, although i think the description of the second and third endings need a little clarification. Only because (as i understood it at least!?), these two alternate endings happen after fowles appears in the train carriage, and he tosses a coin to see which comes first. It may also be worth noting that Fowles makes another subtle appearance in between the two endings, that sees him as a gentlemen close to the Rosseti's house, who turns his clock back fifteen minutes (and time in the novel) and then gets into his landau; the one Charles sees trotting away in the distance when he comes out of the house.
I think to flesh it out there could be further discussion of Arnold, Darwin, Hardy and Tennyson, and maybe a section on metafiction, and also pastoral elements too?? I'll start thinking. Turkeyplucker 21:36, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
